" "Camp of the Saints" wasn't fiction after all."

Even worse...

The left is using it as an Operations Manual, much like they do with 1984, Atlas Shrugged, Animal Farm, Brave New World, and even the Terminator movies, rather than as the cautionary tales that they were supposed to be.

I’m blessed to be an American.
My will is to die here, under whatever circumstance I find myself in when that day comes.

“There’s been a flood of violent, mostly Muslim though other 3rd world military age males that has arrived and is living on public benefits, committing crimes and generally acting like they own the place.”

You can see the same phenomenon here daily in many parts of the USA.

Ditto. We’ve wasted some time discussing the people who are leaving America. We never could come up with a place that’s better. There’s a whole lot wrong with it but it’s still the best.

I have dual citizenship, the U.S. and U.K.

At one time, having two passports made it very easy when traveling Europe. There were also areas of the world where the British passport didn’t act as a beacon to the less upstanding elements of society.

I also keep a third passport thanks to classmate from my MBA program, and can get a Polish passport which I am thinking about just because of the EU thing. But it isn’t about citizenship, as much as it as about having options for travel and business.

While I sympathize with the views expressed by many here, there are, unfortunately, numerous reasons for an American to set up shop in other parts of the world.
  1. Economic sabotage by out "munificent" elites.
  2. Political threats and violence.
  3. Violence in relation to civil legal process by uncivil State authorities.

You begin to get the idea. We will always bring a bit of American with us wherever we go.

Expanding on the first issue -

One point is that ever since the Immigration Act of 1990, enacted at the end of the Cold War, the USA has been looting the planet of intellectual resources by importing 65,000 high tech workers annually. Some years the limit was advanced up to 195,000, and I even read where there was a time when no limit was applied to importing academics. A government that was not interested in under paying high tech and academic workers would negotiate some bidirectional agreements so that Americans could avoid a subverted internal labor market.

Giulia Carbonaro at Newsweak is a filthy propagandist, writing this because so many people are questioning why we have so many dual citizens actually serving in government.

Most things in stores here in Mexico are somewhat more expensive.

Milk is about $5USD/gallon.

Plumbing fittings, spices and produce are generally cheaper.

Mexican beer is generally similar to US beer in taste and price.

Dental work is 40%[complex] to 60%[simple] of the US price.

The vehicles in Tijuana are similar to those driven in the US.

I was in San Diego today.

The museum area of Balboa Park is quite diverse.

All of the dual citizens I know came from other countries. They make their money in the USA but stay attached to their home countries. In Japan, Japanese have to denounce their citizenship when they take up another citizenship. Dual children have to choose when they turn 20. I know some ladies married Sailors, naturalized, divorced, went back to Japan, and have a hard time getting Japanese citizenship. They could get permanent residency but not citizenship.

US citizenship should be protected and not a handout.

When I turned 18 I could have joined the British Army and gone to Northern Ireland or the US Army and go to Viet Nam because I had a dual citizenship. I joined the USAF and n’er regretted a moment.I"m 8 generations of American.

Not until/unless the WOT is over.

So ... all the laws that apply to ‘U.S. Citizenship’ (and especially the laws about Citizenship status during wartime) are in effect.

Frankly, I thought that Dual Citizenship was not encouraged in wartime. And as we know, the WOT persists!

I qualify for Italian and EU citizenship. However Italy is not what it used to be. And there really isn’t any where in Europe that beckons either.

Japan? Northern section. Perhaps.

I have a buddy who is a local in Florence. He tells me young muslim North African males are infesting Italy and acting as though they’ve conquered the place. He said its ruining the country.

This is not the same in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, etc. They have not let the muslim hordes in. They don’t have routine terrorist attacks. Women can still live normal lives without being harassed constantly and/or raped for not wearing tents when they leave the house. They’re still European countries.

Yes so far. Be interesting if they petition Russia for protection from EU.

These countries will not take back their cultures until they round up and shoot in the streets to remove the invaders.

Young people leading the change

Cowards let the country go to hell rather then fight to protect it.

The ones that flood our country did the same thing aka spreading the problem.
